I don't really get the whole screen is too dark thing. Maybe i have super man vision!! But i have never been reading on it saying to myself "man i wish this screen wasn't so dark". Maybe some of the people using it are doing so in caves!

Sort of why i liked my regular jetbook so much, it had and amber-like background which gave me a real book sorta feel.

Do you live somewhere the sun shines? I noticed before that two of the people who liked the jetbook Color the most lived in Italy and Florida, whereas I live in gloomy England (roughly the same latitude as Calgary in Canada or Warsaw in Poland). Maybe the average natural light level makes a difference, and the fact we only have single 60-100w bulbs in our rooms.
